Martial Forest

Chapter 37: One More Day

Li Xian takes a deep breath as he felt all around him thing seems to be changing. When he channels his internal energy to his eyes, he could see thing very clearly.

He could see that on a tree not far from the streams, he could see its scratches like he is standing just beside the tree.

He could see the gradation of colors very clearly and he could even sense the movement around him in details.

He could sense the vibration of the ground and he felt more attuned to nature. There were so many things he could sense now that his internal energy reached a certain level

Before he could explore more this wondrous feeling, suddenly a pop-up windows appeared in front of his eyes

[Host has reached Understanding Oneself grandmaster rank, possessing powerful internal energy. Rewarded with the ability to Modify Skill. To modify skill, it could either be based by host own understanding in martial arts or using Fame Points or Infamy Point to speed up the process]

Li Xian could not believe his luck. He did not think that by raising his own internal energy which is already a boon to his prowess that there is such a function.

Maybe after this if he raises up his internal energy even more there would be many more hidden features revealed to him.

And right now he is happy because at least Fame points that he gathered have more use than just increasing points when he completes a quest.

He had long wanted to modify skill of the Seven Transformation Swordplay. It lacks variation and is too straightforward.

Li Xian did not even bother trying to modify skill based on his understanding.

At most he is at this world around ten days.

Out of the ten days, only three days he was awake.

The other Sven days he is in bed, unconscious.

How could he derive any understanding from his own martial arts. Not to mention he only have three martial arts technique.

The Seven Transformation Swordplay, the Three Waves Palm and the Six Divine Meridian Sword.

Out of the three, only one could be considered a fatal martial art technique and that is the Six Divine Meridian Sword

‘There is a need for change’ he thought to himself. Li Xian also notices that there is a new attribute on his status window which is ability and in the ability section there is the skill Modify Skill there.

Li Xian did not immediately use this chance to modify the skill. He wanted to raises his level even further. Right now he already felt his small body welling up with internal energy.

Now, that he had this many points, it must be spent.

He spends another 21,100 points to level up the next rank of his power to Master rank

The next level of power level after Understanding Oneself is Diamond in the Rough.

He uses all of the point to instantly leap up to Master rank having the internal energy of 19 years of stored internal energy in the body

His body felt like he is bloating.

But not in the bad kind of way. Instead it felt like he is full in a good way.

His body seem to radiate a powerful pressure that the water around his lower body seems to vibrate.

And some of them even is being heated.

The still water near Li Xian foot suddenly seems to swirl like it encounter a sudden turbulence of force

But this is not enough for Li Xian. He then uses another fifty thousand points to rank up Diamond in the Rough to Grandmaster Rank and a powerful blast of energy bursted out from Li Xian body.

The water around him seems to be hit by a powerful force as it jettisoned up toward the air. Like a shower rain it falls back down toward Li Xian as Li Xian laughs a bit.

Right now, his entire body felt like a charged up battery.

His vision become even more clear and all his senses improved.

His hearing, his movement and his energy all seems to undergo a qualitative change in that one moment.

Right now, Li Xian felt that if he really uses the Six Divine Meridian Sword like before, he would no longer falling unconscious after one shot.

But that alone shows how hard it is to master the Six Divine Meridian Sword.

After all, now he has twenty years of internal energy but only that is enough for at least two and a half shot.

He laughed when he thinks about it.

How could it be a two and a half?

It is just his estimation but who knows what would the result be if he truly uses it.

One thing is certain.

He is confident that after this if he uses the Six Divine Meridian Sword again, at the very least he would not be unconscious after the first shot of the sword Qi.

Li Xian then is once again greeted by the another pop up window.

Li Xian cheers in his heart. His speculation is correct. Understanding Oneself is the first door to truly called oneself an internal energy practitioner.

After that, each ranking up of the next power level would also bring an ability to the table.

Li Xian believes that power level is also an indication of eligibility to have certain ability.

Like in wuxia stories, those with powerful internal energy have certain ability that is unique to them like the Sweeping Monk in Demi Gods and Semi Devil that have powerful force field or other master that could inject poisons using inner power.

He checks the reward.

[Host has reached Diamond in the Rough grandmaster rank, possessing powerful internal energy. Rewarded with the ability to create an Imposing presence. Also with the qualitative change and the beneficial effects of internal energy, the host potential is unearthed, making it easier to learn martial arts skill of this world. To create an Imposing Presence, it would use up Fame Points of Infamy Point when it remains active. Depending on the host alignment, the effect would be different. If the host is one of the righteous path, the Imposing Presence would be very effective against heterodox and evil path practitioner, countering their momentum and make those who is faint hearted hesitate in attacking because of fear. As for the Imposing presence effect on the righteous path, it would boost morale and fills them with courage. The opposite is also true]

‘Imposing presence?’ Li Xian was about to try it but then he stopped.

He remembers that it said that it would drain off Fame Points. Thinking about it again he did not have many fame points compared to the other points he has.

After he reads the description Li Xian comes to the conclusion that Imposing Presence is like a buff to his allies and debuff to his enemies.

He looks at his martial arts points.

He still has 108,270 points.

He could keep increasing his internal energy but he also had to save some for new technique. He still did not use any of the abilities he got.

Since he knows that there is a lot of things he could still do and there are still many things he needs to rank up

‘If only I got a million points. Alas, life is not that easy and this system is always silent and give no hint whatsoever’ he sighed a bit and then he laughed.

He could be considered already very lucky right now that he has such a system when he arrived at this world.

He laughs a bit.

As Li Xian is on the stream, Bai Qingniu roasting some pheasant and Bai Pingting cleaning the area of the hut and Xu Wen sitting not far from his teacher, watching the roasted pheasant with shining eyes, on the foot of the mountain, there is a group of people huddle together and talking with each other

‘Where is Senior Uncle Shi?’

That is one of their question.

The meeting in the Righteous temple is about to commence in a few days and no one has seen their martial uncle.

These are the scouts that was left by Shi Yuan.

Of course, they did not know that Shi Yuan had sent them to stand guard on the foot of the mountain because of the matter of the Scroll of Duke Jingwu of Wei.

All they know was that they should report to him if they see anyone leaving the mountain.

But no one leaves the mountain and no one knows that their martial uncle is already buried inside the forest area of the mountain.

And after a week, they began seeking their Senior Uncle only to find out that their Senior Uncle has disappeared from his cottage.

They of course did not know the secrets about their Senior uncle death. They are now discussing whether they should go to Henan first or seek for their martial uncle first

They all look at each other and they said.

‘We will wait for one more day. After that we will follow the sect leader orders and go to The Righteous temple’ the other nodded and agree in this course of action.
